// FILE IN USE 08/10/2004 -- present /* Script to add synapses but not channel clusters, and read timetables from file. Clusters are now handled separately by the read_clusters.g file. Clusters are added to the compartments listed in {clusterfname}, while STN synapses are added to the compartments listed in {STNfilename}. GPdefaults has these two set to the same, so the default is to have clusters at all STN synapse locations. Users can overwrite either or both file names to change the locations of syns & clusters.
